Vance, like so many others, wildly overestimates Trump's capacity for strategic thinking. He has been trying to conjure a perpetual get-out-of-jail-free card since he entered office & with the entitled logic of a spoiled child he thinks putting it on a grown-up looking piece of paper makes it real.
Also, maybe focus on the fucking multitude of crimes he's already committed, over the ones he's going to commit? If you deal with the former, it also solves the latter, you see.
Exactly.
Joyce Vance may not be aware that idiotic speakers in conservative media have been pushing for this kind of thing for months if not years, and they can barely name functions of the DoJ in the first place. These are not strategic or informed people.
It is good that the article acknowledges that the no prosecution over official acts doctrine doesn't cover unofficial acts, though. So many people were mislead on that point, saying it was absolute immunity when it was the opposite.
